It would be a tad more helpful to know how much ram you have.

 

But anyway, your best bets would probably be the processor to either the E6750 or even an E6850

 

However, since it's 2.2GHZ, I'm assuming it's an Allendale, which means the FSB is only 800MHZ, the motherboard you have there (correct me if I'm wrong) is the shitty thing from Gateway. Meaning, if you want to upgrade to either of those processors (or anything with a 1333mhz FSB) you might want to upgrade the motherboard as well, just so you aren't being bottlenecked.

 

Also, considering the video card you've got there you could probably benefit from upgrading the PSU.

Once I get my next paycheck, I'm throwing it down on the Nvidia 9600 GT. It's great for the money.

No doubt it's a good card, but if you're willing to spend an extra 10-20 dollars you can get an 8800gt instead.

Edo's computer is pretty solid, and he did post the amount of RAM. There really isn't anything that will produce a major impact in its current use. I would hold out a bit longer, but If you wanted to you could upgrade the motherboard and I'm assuming the generic power supply.
